um farming have you not read anything anet isdoing they don’t want farmers if they did they wouldn’t nerf every single thing people find to farm … making money WvW is a type of pvp that you can make money from. all im saying is before saying I want to make money but only in a way I want to look at whole thing its not just 1 aspect of game that can be rough gaining money …

ok hidden or not hidden anyone with the know how to create a working bot can find the hidden codes to circumvent this anyway all this would do is show the people who want to play honestly when and for how long they are under this “curse” I mean where there is a means there is a way right ?

ive been playing video games since I was 8 yrs old im now 33, I love the aspect of farming even if it takes somewhat of a long time as long as its not too long. ive noticed that in gw2 dr kicks in and you never know when or how long it will last so my idea is:

put in a debuff icon if someone gets it with time length on it so people know oops ive got dr and to stop farming till its gone.

or with all the nerfs on drop rates do away with it!

like I said ive played video games for awhile now and I call farming my zen moment but when I see everyone get things around me and they play less then me it gets frustrating. I know not everything can drop for someone but atleast some kind of reward for that long grind, or a tracker to help those that are like ok well I cant do this now but I atleast know and can do something else instead of wasting my time trying for nothing.

so as I see the fine people at Anet nerf and remove a ton of potential farming locations people find that they call exploits or decide drop rates must be to high I wonder maybe we can have a better system I mean geeze people farm either for things to sell so they can buy what they want or for the things they need to create new stuff. so here are some ideas maybe should be looked at.

1) with all the drop rate reductions and nerfs on farming spots found maybe remove D.R. from the world perhaps not from dungeons and whatnot but if drop rates are really low atleast give honest players a chance.

2) If when someone hits that magical number where D.R. kicks in in the world maybe have an icon(debuff) show up so people can actually see hey ive hit it and hey its going to last this long. so we are not sitting wondering whats going on and for how long.

really Anet please look at our options to play the game and create some kind of sustainability for those that don’t like pvp and wvw is something we might not want to do a lot of or at all. out side of those what do we have run dungeons till D.R. hits farm till D.R. hits make new characters (only goes so far) !!!

thank you for your time i hope the people at Anet read this and take it into consideration!

Elementalists are OP because you can equip as a tank and pick up traits that give you back a good chunk of damage. Plus, they are fast as lightning (literally) on the battlefield making them either impossible to catch when they run, or run away from when you’re hurt.

Thieves are OP because they can splatter a single non-bunker opponent before that opponent knows what hit them. They can also use stealth to get out of a fight provided they don’t get buried under AoE.

Warriors are OP because they wear heavy armor, can build for high damage, and still have very good toughness, health, and two regens. Add in a whole pile of options on group buffs, and they are just awesomesauce with sprinkles on top.

Mesmers are OP because portal. Oh, and because they can stack so many different conditions on their target even when using crit or direct damage builds. They also have access to stealth which combined with clone spam makes them a freakin’ pain to target.

Guardians are OP because you can’t kill them. You also can’t run from them as they have both a pull and an immobilize in their weapons skills. They even have the audacity to make everyone around them harder to kill which makes all their buddies OP too.

Rangers are OP because 20,000 point AoE’s from 1500 away is a great way to ruin a bunch of people’s day. Or because they throw traps at people. Or because while you’re chasing the ranger in circles, his pet kitty is smapping you upside the head for 5k+ a shot.

Engineers are OP because if they weren’t, why would they keep getting nerfed? Grenades has been hit twice already and is likely looking at getting it again come the AoE nerf which is proof positive that engineers were the mostest best killers on the battlefield.

Necros are OP because…um…err…

omg i love this post made me giggle and wife asked me what was so funny rofl

sorry if i repeat something i only read first few posts but does anyone not remember

Sorrws Furnace
Urgoz
the luxon one
DoA – pre ursan blitz builds
???

raiding doesnt have to be dependent on gear upgrades they can be a chest like the dragons we kill so often … and a challenge for those to do more at end game levels just saying …

Exactly my point all guilds can and eventually will offer same things minus the choice on a voice over program i.e. ventrilo,TS, mumble whatever floats there boat. but what really sets each apart … i mean some said they have a community from years of gaming and there ideals are theres on what they want so on and so forth … but if i can be in 4 guilds that means nothing ( hate to say that cause i agree with differences in ideals)

The most people seem to look at is what can you offer me, what will you do for me, and what will you give me …. this has never created a community ( well ok lets be real any mmo is a “community” but not one where people stick together, enjoy time spent or create that ok game is now boring to me but im a log in just to talk with guild/friends.

i think if Anet wants to fix this do away with being in 4 guilds i mean really make up your minds right? that will start people in forming those communities. i think someone said it in a previous post offer guild monthlies dungeons in full guild groups, # of events in guild groups, wvw in full guild groups etc etc to help guild build and not just be “influence” banks set up to appease the do this for me type people who dont want to give somethign back.

oh well thats my rant yeah ? decent use of my free will and i guess hopefully being one of those “do for me’s” type people is short lived, but i miss the communities of the mmo’s atleast you knew where you stood.

yeah i saw i did a few typos on my post … lol i apologize but point still remains.

also something thought of people complain about not having alliances yet … guess what you do 4 guilds x 500 members = 2000 allies …. say minus 5/10 for your officers/leaders gw1 only had what 1000 ? spread over 10 guilds still not an answer forthat atleast they had alliance chats

i know iknow i set myself up with that Topic Title, but i implore you to sit bac ka second read and think before lighting a fire under my behind.

I ask this cause over past few months ive noticed somehting about the “be in 4 guilds at once thing”.

1. all guilds offer the same thing some a touch clower then others cause of guild size and influence gaining abilities.
2. guild jumpers are even more prevelent now then ever – no sense of im in this guild because .. (insert reason)
3. when and why do you represent and why off other servers where guild can dang near do nothing for you.

there may be more questions then this but these are top 3 that “jump” into my mind as i sit here thinking baout it. Now time for me to ask you to pause before responding … think about it and do the math.

A.) how many members in your guild.
B.) how many active
C.) how many represent

im shure if you kick everyone from guild that does not represent in a 2 day time, then kick everyone who hasnt been active for say a week that your guild numbers wont be as high as people want to believe let alone kicking anyone on other server who doesnt benifit home servers guild.

so my question “Topic Title” stands is there a commmunity? im shure Anet thought hmmm bring whole community together let them be in multiple guilds. BUT do they see guild chats of all guild, do they see what leaders and members alike offer at any given time (remember: dont bash me without thinking here — cause if u rep 1 guild u cannot see anything going on in others.) so community is not brought together infact the way i see it community is so divided, no “guild pride”, no great burning desire to be in a specific guild because they do (insert gaming time you enjoy). Granted i know world is to immense to limit what a guild of 200+ can do, but anyone under a hundred that looks at there numbers cant afford to try and try to do all at once --- if they dont people rep other guilds and they basically lost to them.

p.s. for the guild leaders reading this also discount your friends that have gamed with you for 1+yrs and were willing to play/move to new game with you cause those area given!

thank you and i hope the bashing isnt to harsh and people can prove without a sliver of doubt there is actually community.
